I'm trying to locate places in Australia that sell Nettops for turning<br>
into a media centre at a decent price.<br>
In particular, nettops like the Acer Revo. I plan on setting up a<br>
small computer for my inlaws to use as a media centre, running XBMC.<br>
Ideally, it would have traditional TV out (Analog) as well as<br>
HDMI(DVI) out. And of course, it'll need a decent GPU and CPU for<br>
running a media centre.<br>
I've found lots of different things people are using by reading<br>
through XBMC forums and the likes, but can't seem to locate the said<br>
computers in australia. So ether an australia website that sells them,<br>
or a Perth/Brisbane shop that people know sell them.<br>

Do the forums say otherwise?<br>VGA is often as good as HDMI for video, depending on your TV.<br>Do you want surround-sound?<br><br> <a href="http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=acer+revo&spos=3">http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=acer+revo&spos=3</a><br>
